Overview

Systematic review finds limited effects of vitamin D on lipid profile and body composition in obese individuals, suggesting potential subgroup benefits.

Key Points

  • Vitamin D supplementation generally does not significantly affect metabolic markers in individuals with obesity.
  • Subgroup analyses indicated a potential increase in HDL-C for diabetics and elevated LDL-C in younger adults.
  • Twenty-five randomized controlled trials were included, employing random effects models to analyze data.
  • Despite limited overall effects, certain subgroups may experience beneficial outcomes, highlighting the need for further targeted research.
